< Genesis 4 >

1 The man knew Havah his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with the LORD’s help.”
Lao esa, Adam sungguꞌ no sao na Hawa, de ana nairu. Ana bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa, ma nae, “Ana touꞌ esa dea nema ena, huu LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali au.” De babꞌae e, Kaen (sosoa na ‘dea nema’).
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Basa ma, Hawa bꞌonggi seluꞌ ana touꞌ esa, de babꞌae e Habel. Ruꞌa se raꞌamoko ma, Habel dadꞌi manatadꞌa banda, ma Kaen tao osi.
3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
Lao esa, Kaen nendi osi na mbule-bꞌoa na ruma, fee LAMATUALAIN.
4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The LORD respected Abel and his offering,
Habel o nendi bibꞌi lombo nara, ana ulu nara. Ana mbau-hala se, ma nendi sisi maloleꞌ neu Lamatualain. Ma LAMATUALAIN rala Na namahoꞌo, huu Habel, ma tutunu-hohotu na.
5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
Te Ana nda hii Kaen tutunu-hohotu na sa. Naa de, Kaen namanasa, de mata na maꞌalasi.
6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Kaen nae, “Heh, Kaen! Taꞌo bee de mumunasa, losa mata ma maꞌalasi taꞌo naa?
7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
Mete ma ho tao maloleꞌ, naa, Au simbo nggo no maloleꞌ boe. Te besa-bꞌesa! Mete ma ho tao deꞌulakaꞌ, dei fo deꞌulakaꞌ a naa baliꞌ nggo, onaꞌ meo obꞌo lafo. Dadꞌi mete ma hii mae tao deꞌulakaꞌ, malole lenaꞌ nggari hendi leo!”
8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
Lao esa, Kaen kokoe Habel nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Uma fo teu lao-laoꞌ sia osi.” Ara losa naa, aiboiꞌ ma, Kaen momoko nisa odꞌi na.
9 The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Basa ma LAMATUALAIN natane Kaen nae, “Heh, Kaen! Odꞌi ma saa bee?” Nataa nae, “Au nda bubꞌuluꞌ saꞌ! Mae au mana toꞌu ei na, do?”
10 The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
Te Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Taꞌo bee de ho tao deꞌulaka taꞌo naa? Afiꞌ mae ho bisa funi odꞌi ma raa na sia rae a, te Au ita basa ena!
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Ia naa huku-dokiꞌ sae nala nggo. Leleꞌ misa odꞌi ma, rae a musi nala raa na. De ia naa, rae a nda fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggo sa ena.
12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
Mete ma ho tao osi, rae a nda fee mbule-bꞌoaꞌ saa-saa saꞌ boe. Mia oras ia, ho koo-kale muu-uma onaꞌ atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ sangga masodꞌaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.”
13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Te Kaen labꞌan LAMATUALAIN nae, “Awii! Lamatualain, e! Taꞌo bee de huku-doki au bera na seli, losa au nda lemba beꞌi sa!
14 Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
Huu Lamatualain oi hendi au sia mamanaꞌ ia, dei fo au uꞌudꞌoodꞌooꞌ mia Lamatualain. Au koo-kale sudꞌiꞌ a bee uu. Ma sudꞌiꞌ a se randaa ro au, naa, tati risa au.”
15 The LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Seka tati nisa nggo, naa, Au huku-doki e bera na lenaꞌ lao hitu!” Dei de, LAMATUALAIN tao tatandaꞌ neu Kaen, fo atahori rahine, rae nda bole tao risa e sa.
16 Cain left the LORD’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Basa ma, Kaen lao hela mamanaꞌ naa, fo neu naꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ no LAMATUALAIN. Ana lao losa mamanaꞌ esa sia osi Eden seriꞌ rulu, nara na Nod, sosoa na nae, ‘koo-kale’. Boe ma, ana leo sia naa.
17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
Basa ma, Kaen sao, de sao na nairu. Ana bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa, de babꞌae e, Henok. Kaen o nafefela kamboꞌ esa, de babꞌae kamboꞌ a Henok, tungga ana na nara na.
18 Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
Henok ana na, Irad. Ma Irad ana na, Mehuyael. Mehuyael ana na, Metusael. Ma Metusael ana na, Lamek.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
Lamek sao na rua. Esa naran Ada, ma esa naran Sila.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
Ada ana ulu na, naran Yabal. Yabal tititi-nonosi nara, dadꞌi manatadꞌa. Ara rasodꞌa lali-laliꞌ, ma leo sia lalaat.
21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
Yabal odꞌi na, naran Yubal. Yubal tititi-nonosi nara, mana maꞌaminaꞌ lii-liiꞌ mana pake sanar onaꞌ a sasando, ma fuu onaꞌ suling.
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
Ma Lamek sao na Sila bꞌonggi Tubal Kaen. Tubal Kaen tititi-nonosi nara mana tutu besi. Ara tao sudꞌiꞌ a saa mataꞌ-mataꞌ mia besi ma riti. Tubal Kaen feto na, Naꞌama.
23 Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
Lao esa, Lamek nananaru ao na mia sao nara ruꞌa se mata nara nae, “Rena, e! Faꞌ ra monetenaꞌ esa tutu au, te au tao isa e.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
Atahori mana tao nisa Kaen, hambu huku-dokiꞌ lao hitu. Te mete ma hambu mana nae nambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ no au, ana hambu huku-dokiꞌ lao hitu nulu hitu.”
25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
Adam sao na Hawa bonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. De ara babꞌae e, Set, huu Hawa nae, “Lamatualain fee anaꞌ ia nggati Habel, fo Kaen tao nisaꞌ a.”
26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the LORD’s name.
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, Set hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Enos. Leleꞌ naa, atahori ra feꞌe rahine LAMATUALAIN ena, ma beꞌutee neu E.
